Draft Strategy: WR depth remains as strong as ever. As such, the pressure to get a top option right away shouldn’t persist, though you may very well do so because of the way the board lines up. The gameplan at WR – try to grab at least one from the tier 1 – 2 group, with your top 2 WRs coming from within tiers 1 – 4, though your second WR coming from tier 3 would be preferred . From there, snag 2-3 guys from within the tier 4-6 block, pursuing upside plays, to fill out your roster at WR3 / flex and depth. There will be players from the later tiers who perform well above their draft slots, so make sure to make the play for their upside.
